NVD · unedited
OS Command injection vulnerability in Support Center Plus 11 via Executor in Action when creating new schedules.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

OS Command injection vulnerability in Support Center Plus 11 (version 11) in the Executor component within the Action functionality when creating new schedules. An authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary OS commands through unsanitized input parameters in the scheduling feature.

MitigationApply vendor security patches for Support Center Plus 11. If no patch available, temporarily restrict access to the scheduling/Action functionality to trusted administrators only and implement input validation at the application layer to sanitize special characters in schedule parameters.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Support Center Plus is installed
    Check for Support Center Plus installation by looking for the application in your programs list, or locate the installation directory (typically under ManageEngine\SupportCenter Plus in Program Files).
    Affected if Support Center Plus is not installed on the system.
  2. Check installed version number
    Access the admin console of Support Center Plus and navigate to the About section (usually under Admin > About or Help > About) to view the exact version, or check the version.txt or version.info file in the installation directory.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 11.0 (11.0.0).
  3. Confirm scheduling feature is accessible
    Log into Support Center Plus as an authenticated user and navigate to the Action or Scheduling functionality (typically under Actions > Schedule Task or similar path in the admin or user interface).
    Affected if The scheduling/Action feature is exposed and accessible to authenticated users.
  4. Verify Executor component configuration
    Check the Support Center Plus configuration files (typically in the conf directory within the installation folder) for the Executor component settings related to scheduled actions.
    Affected if Executor component for Action scheduling is enabled in the configuration.
  5. Review user access to scheduling feature
    Check user roles and permissions in the admin console to see which authenticated users have access to creating or modifying schedules through the Action functionality.
    Affected if Authenticated users (other than administrators) have permissions to access the scheduling/Action functionality.

You are affected if Support Center Plus version 11.0 is installed and the scheduling/Action feature with the Executor component is accessible to authenticated users in your environment.
